I've owned this vehicle or actually is leasing it and I've had it for about 20 months and have experienced 3 recalls on this vehicle and this is suppose to be Acura's flagship vehicle and I'm totally not pleased with these recalls that I feel Acura probably knew about before releasing the vehicle for sale to the public, in the latest recall was for my headlights and I was told by letter and then by person via the phone not to drive the vehicle because the headlights could malfunction or fall out and to get it fixed at no charge as soon as possible but Acura dealers didn't have the parts on hand and had to be ordered and my vehicle had to stay put in my garage for about 4 weeks before someone from cerritos Acura called me with an schedule appt., now I felt that Acura should've given me an rental car to drive while they waited on these parts, I contact Acura client relations dept. And was directed to speak to an lady manager by the name of [xxx] (phone # 1-800-382-2238 ext. [xxx]) and this was the worst customer experience that I ever occurred, her phone always went straight to her voice mail and when she did contact me back she called me on my home number/ cell phone number instead of the number I provided her with (job #) she obviously didn't listen to my message and just instead was monitoring her calls and called me back on the number she had on file, I called her at least 6 times and never ever spoke to her, Acura bragged about this car getting all of these accolades for safety and was actually on the list for best safety vehicle in 2014 and to have 3 recalls is an inconvenience to myself and have given me serious doubts about purchasing from them ever again, I wish I could've gotten some better customer service via the client relations dept. As for the dealer and the service and correcting this problem, I was very pleased and this is my reason for complaining.

Deer were crossing the road in front of my vehicle. It is impossible on this vehicle to turn off or dim headlights unless vehicle is in park or parking brake is on (hence a complete stop). Deer froze in the headlights and I had to completely stop in the middle of the road in order to have the deer safely move on (once lights were out). This is a hazard to me, anyone behind me and other drivers traveling in the opposite direction. Turning off the headlights while moving will keep the deer moving most of the time. Acura client relations has confirmed this feature as being "as designed" and have no solution to offer. I travel every evening on this road (speed limit 55) and deer are a daily occurrence. I feel Acura should be required to deliver a fix to a clear safety oversight.
